Councils in the UK face industry legal threats for campaigns warning against wood-burning stoves As the UK government considers adding health warnings to new wood-burning stoves, as part of a public consultation on solid fuel burning, councils in England are being threatened with legal action for...

DEFRA:Dirty air robs people of their health & costs our NHS millions each year. We've set new ambitious targets to cut air pollution by a third by 2030, including the publics exposure to fine particulate matter-the pollutant most harmful to human health

Smokeless fuels cause health risks as previously unknown pollutants found Study led by Irish scientists shows low-smoke fuels at least double emissions of toxic ultrafine particles

Low smoke doesn't mean low risk - research into smokeless and low-smoke fuels led by @ovadnevaite.bsky.social at @uniofgalway.bsky.social

⚠️ "Low smoke" doesn't mean low risk. New
@uniofgalway.bsky.social Research shows "low smoke" solid fuels emit 2–3× more ultrafine particles reaching lungs, heart, even the brain. #EpicAir #AEROSOURCE #SolidAir

Variations in oxygenated and nitrogen-containing primary organic compounds based on the fuel type and burning condition in stove emissions Biomass burning emits primary organic gases and particles on a global scale, partly from domestic combustion. While there is growing understanding of the composition and characteristics of these emiss...

Another 'first paper' from one of my PhD students, this time by Osayomwanbor Oghama. This paper is looking at stove emissions, focused on the chemical profiling using CIMS and AMS according to different fuels and burning conditions.
